Walker
This offbeat historical drama is another in a line of hard-to-categorize films from cult director Alex Cox. Ed Harris stars as William Walker, an idealistic doctor, lawyer, and journalist who, at age 32, led a bloody revolution and installed himself as president of Nicaragua under orders from Cornelius Vanderbilt (Peter Boyle). Harris' performance is terrific, the violence is effective and well-used, and the film conveys an uncompromising political viewpoint without ever lapsing into self-righteousness.

Slapdash and heavy-handed
Disappointing effort from Cox - the heavy-handed politics sit uneasily with the general silliness of the film and the unusual scenes with anachronistic ... read more »

The Other Woody
- 06 Aug 2007
'I'm not naïve, I'm superficial,' Woody Harrelson declares in Paul Schrader's new film, The Walker. Some people would suggest the actor has it the wrong way round. After all, he first planted himself in the public eye playing the dumbest jock on television in eight seasons of the sitcom Cheers. I've met Harrelson twice.
